High School Aid Station Challenge

Fundraising
Breakdown of the money the 2009 Barr Trail Mountain Race raised and donated:
El Paso County Search and Rescue: $6,692.32
Friends of the Peak: $6,557.79
The six high schools: $6,000
Total donations: $19,250.11 or $42.87 per registrant, $54.38 per finisher!

Great sponsors made this possible because the average entry fee was only $22.67 bringing in $10,180, all of which was donated, and yet there were many expenses with T-shirts alone costing $4,156.24 along with $3,200 in prize money and primes, $563.41 for awards, $555.09 for finisher medals, and $465 for pizza.
